Oh wow. I didn’t realize that was coming to town this year. That was a good time the last time it was here. I’ll go again.

I plan in making it this year. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the link! Planning on being there on Friday.

Closest hotels are already booked. Closest with availability is 1/3 mile away and over $200 per night plus taxes and fees. Cheapest around $150 + the taxes and fees

Gonna have to make a decision quick if I'm just gonna drive down for the day like last time or make a Saturday and Sunday out of it and book a room

Snatch it up quick, 2 days is always a blast

I'm gonna be the wet blanket and say I won't be going. Went to the last one in Indy and was disappointed. Just a bunch of vendors showing off the latest and greatest whiz-bang toys that I have no interest in.

I saw Chuck Norris at the last one, just ran into Massad Ayoob on the street, got some swag, a few good deals, and chatted with the folks from the Armed Citizen's Legal Defense Network. Was a good time. Lots of firearms to look at too. A good time was had by all.

If you want to stay here in town, DONT. Indianapolis proper is in the top 5 cities with the highest hotel taxes.
Stay in Greenwood, Greenfield, Plainfield, Fishers, etc. and drive in. Its less than 15-20 minutes from those outlying cities.

The only benefit of staying here is to be in a hotel downtown connected to the convention center. Since those are full, no reason to stay in the city/county AT ALL.

Yeah. I seen I believe 17% tax. Ouch. I'm cheap so if I gotta drive in not much different from 3 miles to 15 miles

I met Gunny and Colion.
Well, I saw Gunny, and didn't want to wait in line, or bother the guy since his hand was probably wearing out from shaking hands.
And I said Hi to Colion.

But, on Sunday, vendors were wanting to get rid of stuff and not have to pack it up.
Picked up some rifle bags for half price.

Thanks for the info, I'm in. Maybe I should consider renting someone a room for the weekend?

I plan on going but will just day trip it I think.

The pricing is about the same as I'm seeing for a hotel that's 1/3 mile away.

I met Gunny …

That’s right, how could I forget Gunny!

Just remember your post. The rates dont include Indy's insane hotel taxes.
